Riassunto

Based on the ACM guidelines, <i>Discrete Mathematics</i> will help readers master and apply the central topics of discrete math. As they progress through the early chapters, they&#8217;ll quickly learn how to think and write about mathematics. The book then explores abstract mathematics, providing a detailed look at sets and functions. Readers will also find in-depth discussions on probabilities and their applications to games of chance. And they&#8217;ll discover the basic techniques of graph theory and how to apply them using puzzles and games.
